Design
It is difficult to catalog over 20 years of design. This is an attempt, starting with the newest items first.

Keene State College⤴
Keene State College case study at Oomph
Role at Oomph: Director of UX & Design, strategist. Keene was a project that I led, from writing the proposal and winning the bid to recommending a content strategist consultant lead a Brand Archetype workshop to the design & architecture of the main site. Worked with Ashley Estes (US) and Akili Greer (UI) on the architecture and design, respectively.

Taleen Batalian⤴
Independent Role: Strategist, designer, & static-site developer. I resigned Taleen’s first website back in 2008. This design update takes advantage of new technology but still keeps the site very simple and focused on her eclectic and collaborative work.

State of Rhode Island: Quahog Design System
State of RI case study at Oomph⤴
Role at Oomph: Director of UX & Design, strategist, front-end developer, digital accessibility-specialist. During COVID, I worked with the team to develop a new state-wide CMS distribution and design system with five color themes, each with light and dark modes, and over 30 visual components, all with a high accessibility conformance. In four months, the State rolled out the first handful of sites to communicate important health information. After five years, over 100 agencies use the system. In 2025, I am leading an audit and design refresh.

Preserve RI⤴
Independent Role: Digital and Print Designer, Brand Strategist. Our work with Preserve RI brought back a previous logo iteration and modernized it. The five acorns — one for each of Rhode Island’s five counties — had been shelved but proved to be a lovely, unique, and beloved part of their brand identity. In combination with bright greens and a modern semi-serif font, the logo lockup more than 20 years later still reflects some of our original thinking.
